For everyone who worked so hard on the Main Page redesign, we all deserve a barnstar! Here T oHelp 01:05, 19 March 2006 (UTC) Seconded :-) +sj + 10:00, 22 March 2006 (UTC) Yep, that was a tedious project. Good job. -- Go for it! 03:20, 29 March 2006 (UTC) |
Does anything still need sorting out in the aftermath of all this? One thing I thought of was whether the Alexa page rank website would show any differences? I found an archived discussion from last year here that (some way down the page) talks about how removing category links (which became the portal links now on the Main Page) possibly affected the Alexa rankings.

I just thought i'd say my 2 pence, but Wikipedia now looks a lot like Uncyclopedia. If Wikipedia changed their front page to the current design first, then that would be fine, as it would just be another case of Uncyclopedia being parodic, but this isn't the case. You'd think that Wikipedia would be trying to distance itself from Uncyclopedia, no?
Come on! The quality of Uncyclopedia does not even come close to Wikipedia! Wikipedia is miles ahead here. -- S iva1979 Talk to me 09:54, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi all,
I'm rather afraid that I thought I had a solution to this issue, but when I implemented it I broke the main page :-( I am rather sorry that I did that. However, it is possible to convert from tables to divs and apply styles. Given that HTML should be about structuring information, and not really about layout, I would like to see a lot more div tags and a lot less table tags!
Our current solution is actually quite hard to skin. For instance, I wanted to include, in my own css file, line-spacing changes. However, these changes break the main page for me. If the main page had the infoboxes in div tags, then it would be a lot simpler to implement this change.
A trial is currently at User:Ta bu shi da yu/MainPage2, there are significant problems with my markup, however. If anyone could help, I'd much appreciate this! - Ta bu shi da yu 02:20, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
How come I can't edit sections on this page? - Ta bu shi da yu 02:25, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
